So you like the ride better without the rear sway Eric? Based on all the great comments in the -6 suspension recommendations thread I will be ordering 140lbs progressive springs and adjust full soft to start on the Koni's.

These came today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Much. Had a couple of issues. the bar was hitting the trunk floor and the arms were up against the dials on my GT shocks.

Even with the stock 200lb. GT springs it's much better. I'll be putting some 150's on tomorrow and I'll report back. I believe you are in the sweet spot with what you're planning.

Looking good Andy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Before you paint or powder those, grind the handbrake adjustment tube flat on the wheel side as well. Depending on how you want to deal with the caliper/rotor offsent, you'll need as much room in there as possible for the caliper.

You can put a 4.5mm spacer under the rotor hat but that will eat up a little clearance and, we can usually use all that we can get.

That leaves spacing the calipers back with washers and they can hit the lip of the adjustment tube (you can see the lip sticking up past the weld on the factory tube).

Just a heads up...



Got it down to the bead of the weld, Do you think I should grind my welds down also or are they out of the way enough?

If my welds looked that good, there is no way I'd grind em off.

I'm no expert on aerodynamics, but it would seem that the raised portion of the louvers should point downwards with the opening towards the back of the car.
That way the air under the car will create a low pressure zone at the opening thus helping the hot air to exit.

Your current configuration seems to block air exit instead of aiding it ...

Grinding is perfect. No need to grind the others.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Thanks Sir. and glad this was noticed before paint!!! looks like I'm going for the big opening like your GT Eric (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I'm glad I don't have to grind down my welds and the cred goes to my buddy Kent as I've learned a lot from him. I didn't tell him the first tube weld was crap due to me forgetting to turn on the bottle (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif)

Ground it down and started over (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) I really enjoy the welding!!!

the body is blocked down to 220 with another guide coat and few more rounds to go. lots of tedious sanding but looking super smooth

I'm thinking Feb/Mar at this point. I don't want to rush anything, I enjoy the reassembly process and want to get it as perfect as I can.

Cleaned the oil tank up today and its off to get flushed out and striped for it's copper dip
